Hello Friends!

Cost::: It's free to participate but the scarf you send to your partner must have a minimum value of $20.
- If you make or sell scarves and would like to send one of your own products to your partner that is fine AS LONG AS your product fits your partner's interests {more info about that below}.
Shipping::: This gift exchange is open to international participants. I understand that some of you will be interested in items from other countries and some of you would prefer not to pay that much extra for shipping. Please be sure to specify in your comment below if you are willing to be paired with a person from a different country or not.

Your interests: I like fun silly stuff, lots of Japanese fabrics and silly prints. My 'usual' scarf is a knitted multicoloured yarn thing I made years ago when my grandmother taught me to knit and I made that one thing. I also have a crocheted scarf. I'm in love with greens lately.

Your interests: {share some of your preferences to help your partner choose a scarf for you - i.e. fabric weight, colors, styles, a link or two to other scarves you are interested in, etc} I love scarves! I am vegan, so I am requesting that the scarf be made out of natural or synthetic material not derived from an animal (i.e. no wool, angora, alpaca, etc.). Cowls and infinity scarves are my favorite. I would love one with a print on it (like these for example: http://www.etsy.com/listing/65677611/infinity-scarf-screen-printed-gray http://www.etsy.com/listing/97323145/infinity-scarf-hand-printed-moon or http://www.etsy.com/listing/80095050/going-hunting-red-and-camel-jersey-hand). I have no color preference except that I do not want pink.

Interests: I don't know anything about weight so I don't know. Pattern: anything that isn't real wild. My very, very favorite color is Pink.Love it! I love, love vintage. I love girly,girly!
I would very much like a long scarf. I live in North Carolina, and we have had some rough weather here the last couple of years. In fact, our joke is we are always the 1st ones on our block to lose power during the ice storms and the last ones to get it back on.lol..I actually don't have a scarf, so this will be so nice, and it will get used! I so appreciate this and look forward to exchanging info. Anyone else who wants a pen-pal, please feel free to email me and I will gladly share my info with you as well. Thanks and God Bless<3
I love your felting! I was looking at your shop in awe! Just beautiful work! I'd love to swap with you but I would want to hand make it and won't have time til late in September to even start! Check out my blog and etsy shop

Country in which you live: USA, totally good with international
Your interests: I absolutely love scarves. I wear them all year! I prefer large full scarves in lighter weight fabric. I don't like wool or fuzzy though because of my long curly hair, they pull my curls apart and make my hair all frizzy. I love bright and colorful, lots of pattern and tassels!! but not too big into lace. Not really a girly girl at all actually... I usually wear scarves as a statement piece, simple clothes with a fabulous scarf! Typically love almost any scarf coming from Urban Outfitters.

Your interests:
♥ fabric scarves, with rayon being my all-favourite fabric for its cool-against-the-skin feel.
♥ long scarves that can wrap many times, and if it's a light fabric then a very wide, long scarf which can double as bathing-suit cover-up when away from home! -
5 words to describe you or your style: relaxed, not matchy-matchy, cottagy, ethnic (meaning something from "away"), shabby-preppy (wear my husband's cast-off button-down LLBean and JCrew shirts)

Name: Heather Gwinn
ReplyDeleteEmail Address: bluebutterflz@yahoo.com
Country in which you live: United States; I am completely fine with domestic or international!
Your interests: I love scarves! It gets cold here. I like a light weight
- med weight scarf. Too heavy is rough on my neck. I'm not fond of
anything scratchy or fuzzy as I have sensitive skin and the static
created from wooly scarves during the winter is crazy here! So
definitely something very soft to the skin. I'm open to colors as long
as it isn't anything neon or purple. My favorite colors are mossy greens
and any blues. I'm very fair skinned if that helps. I love long scarves
but it's not a must. I love solids, fun prints like birds or even
vintage florals. Nothing too pre-teenish please.
5 words to describe you or your style: Never-Casual, Girly-Chic, Artsy, Vintage Class, & 20's-Fanatic

Anything else you'd like to ask/share: I am thrilled to be a part of
this! How fun! I'd love something international but honestly I am just
as fine with someone in the US. Thank you for this exciting opportunity!
